What Has Coronavirus Taught Us?

by Bijay Kant Dubey

Do not party,

Maintain physical distance,

Avoid contact,

Do not hug or handshake,

Wash hands,

Keep yourself clean.

Live where you are

As that's your land,

Even a stranger can be your own,

Do not drive unnecessarily,

Care for the environment.

Death is a great leveller,

Wear a mask,

And who'll be near you when you die

Don’t ask for it

As somebody else too can be your own

Attending to you

And nursing you.

The body of baser things

Will return to baser stuffs,

Don't worry about it

And when someone dies,

Rites and rituals must be restricted,

Why invite so many

For the customary feast?

The marriage ceremony too

A private affair,

Why call so many?

Keep everything private and personal,

Keep an eye over health and hygiene.
